Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 101
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Clive Owen LLP
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“The Directors have concluded that, if required, ASSA ABLOY AB will be able to provide financial support to the Company until 31 December 2026. Accordingly, the Directors are satisfied that they have a reasonable basis upon which to conclude that the Company is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due in the foreseeable future and it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

“Subsequent to the year end the company moved offices and trading location, entering into a new 10 year property lease at the new location. This has had no material impact on operations and is a non-adjusting post balance sheet event.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
